In Moving Post, Gay Porn Performer Shane Cook Reveals He has Cancer

Gay porn performer Shane Cook took to Twitter this week to reveal he has cancer.

In a moving and courageous post to his 28,100 followers, Cook, who often films scenes for the gay porn studio Helix Studios, said he wanted to reveal his diagnosis because he's "tired of being embarrassed about something I have no control over."

"So about 3 or 4 months ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer and in short am handling it very well!" Cook explains. "I've had some hair loss and I've lost muscle but I haven't lost anything that I won't be able to get back and some so I'm going to keep doing what I need to do for myself and look forward to filming later on!"

Cook also shared a selfie to go along with his message.

A number of fans and colleagues showed support for the actor, as well. Check out Cook's tweets below, along with some reactions.
